Compile 'Kernel Hacking' into your kernel.

Now you can use Alt-SysRQ-S to sync your disk and  Alt-SysRQ-U to
mount everything read only.

This way it's more likely to avoid data losses and far more important
there's no fschk at boot time that lasts for forever :) 

Check out /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sysrq.txt for more maqic
requests.
